Three Different Analytics Environments

• Embedded analytics– Analytics at scale, integrated with databases and transaction
systems– “I need to score all my customers for propensity to buy”
• Analytical sandbox– An exploratory environment for those with the skills to explore– “We need a new pricing algorithm that works for the new
product”
